Description
Small packets are wasteful, Eth+IP+TCP is 66 bytes so everything smaller than that has more than 50% transfer overhead.
This was greatly improved by recent changes (we used send length in separate packet on few levels, which caused the number of packets to grow geometrically).
I would like to use this issue to show improvements that were made and also to set higher and higher aim.
Version 0.4.3-rc1:
